Parking

Parking at College Park will be extremely limited. The parking lot west of Field 1 will be completely closed off most of the day. As mentioned last week, it is important to help us with our agreement with the neighbors surrounding College Park. One of those ways is to remember to park at MetroLink lot on the corner of First St. and College Ave. and NOT on Green or Elder Streets, please. Here is a handy graphic showing where you can park (shown in green) and where you should not park (shown in red).

Bob Mitchell Dedication

Claremont Little League (CLL) lost a long-time volunteer in September 2017 when Bob Mitchell passed away. Bob was a long time CLL parent, coach, friend and supporter of CLL. Bob coached his son Tyler from 2000 to 2007 at CLL, and for the last several years, Bob had remained a fixture as a rostered coach in the Minors and Majors divisions at CLL, as well as coached many CLL All Star teams. Bob went above and beyond for all at CLL, especially in caring for young pitching arms. As part of our March 3, 2018 opening ceremonies, CLL will honor the memory of Bob Mitchell. CLL would like to make sure all in our community are aware of this recognition portion of our ceremony and invite you all to attend.
